Gambler's Roll by The Allman Brothers Band

The dealer sits alone in the dark
Cigarette shines on his very last card
Everything he had, watched it come and go
On a gambler's roll

Cold wind blows a young girl's world apart
She bet it all, she bet it all on the jack of hearts
Gained her freedom but lost her soul
On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll

You know the gambler he rides, rides on a fools train
Ah tradin' silver for gold
Oh but his luck will change
Time takes it's toll on a gambler's roll

The dealer knows, it's just about his last game
Not even she knows all the sorrow and pain
As the forty-five deals the fatal blow
On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll

You know the gambler he rides, rides on a fools train
Tradin' silver for gold
Oh but his luck will change
Time takes it's toll on a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll
On a gambler's roll, oh

On a gambler's, gambler's roll
